D-E-D, dead.

We’ve all bled out.

Very very very dead. The first cut you get would cause you to bleed out and die. It would be a miracle to survive to one year old

People think that the immune system is like this pinpoint accurate machine that kills invaders. In reality, it is more like a carpet bomber that functions under the principle that we can heal and viruses/bacteria cannot. Inflammation is basically your body carpet bombing and healing.

We would also not be able to build muscle mass as the repair of microtears is what leads to hypertrophy.

So we would all be dead. Healing if fundamental to life.

I’m not the first born child, I likely would not be alive

Everyone in the world is dead next question

Does “heal itself” include immune responses? Like, could you recover from a cold on your own or would you need anti virals?

I’d be very dead.

Probably everyone would die from common illnesses in childhood

Very dead.

Sounds like the sort of question someone under 30 asks

Add immortality and you’ve got Elantris.

This is just too unrealistic. I mean, some people actually suffer from conditions where they have a really hard time healing wounds, like lack of plackettes. And some people bruse extremely easily. But if you were unable to heal at all, you would be long gone. Kids get scratches all the time, and even one scratch would lead to an infection that would overwhelm you immune system.

HVAC tech. My hands would be banana peels.

Have you ever read the book Elantris? It sounds very not fun.
